Multiple Parallel Silver-Gold Trends Identified
at Root & Cellar Property, Newfoundland

/CNW/ - Northern Shield Resources Inc. ("Northern Shield" or the
"Company") (TSXV: NRN) is pleased to announce partial results from the inaugural phase of till
sampling from the Root & Cellar Property ("Root & Cellar" or the "Property") in
Newfoundland
which
is being explored for low sulphidation epithermal gold-silver mineralization. Northern Shield has an
option to earn up to a 100 % interest in Root & Cellar (see press release dated
May 21, 2019
).

The till sampling survey covered the Drop and Conquests Zones as well as several structures
deemed of interest. Only partial results are available at this time.
Of particular significance are the results from the Drop Zone area which, appear to have defined
four parallel zones anomalous in silver +/- tellurium, +/- sulphur +/- gold. The Drop Zone showing is
characterised by high silver to gold ratios (approximately 25:1) and the presence of tellurium-bearing
minerals including hessite (silver-telluride). A hessite-bearing boulder has also been found recently
south of the Drop Zone at a location that coincides with the southern most silver soil anomaly trend.
Three of the anomalous trends coincide with topographic highs. The two shortest trends, including
that which hosts the Drop Zone showing have a strike length of approximately 250 metres. The zone
immediately north of the showing has a strike-length of 500 metres and is open at both ends. A
fourth zone defined from the till sampling is just apparent at the northern end of the survey grid.
As at other locations within the Property, the mineralization in the Drop Zone is associated with
strong silicification of the host rock which is more resistant to erosion and hence may form
topographic high features.
"The soil sample results at Drop Zone paint a compelling case of a series of three or four sub-
parallel zones that could host further mineralization to that already exposed at the Drop Zone
discovery," explains Northern Shield President and CEO,
Ian Bliss
.
Trenching permits have been received and will be amended to include new targets identified from the
till survey.
The program was overseen by
Christine Vaillancourt
, P. Geo., the Company's Chief Geologist and a
Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101. Samples were analyzed by ALS Global in
Sudbury, Ontario
and in
Vancouver, BC
, for Au by Fire Assay with ICP-AES finish and base metals
by four acid digestion and ICP-AES. All standards and duplicates by ALS meet targeted values.

looking statements
or information. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, risks associated with
geological, geometrical and geophysical interpretation and analysis, the ability of Northern Shield to
obtain financing, equipment, supplies and qualified personnel necessary to carry on exploration and
the general risks and uncertainties involved in mineral exploration and analysis.
